Has been repossesed by becu and will be sold by collatoral recovery services Inc located at: 621 37th at wa auburn, wa 98002. They have been informed of the following defects: 1)none of the turn signals work. This has been an intermittent problem since purchasing the vehicle. The several fuses have been replaced, but the malfunction continues. 2)the warning sound, for the headlines being left on when the door is open, no longer functions. The fuse has been tested and replaced, but the malfunction continues. 3)the warning sound for the driverS seatbelt, to remind to fasten them, no longer works. The fuse has been tested and replaced, but the malfunction continues. 4)with all the problems regarding the fuses listed above, there may be the possibility that the fuse box is defective or there is a problem in the wiring. There has not been any diagnostic testing because of the prohibitive costs. 5)the tires are recent purchase from sears, but there are defects in the tires. The passenger rear tire has a slow leak that has been temporarily sealed with seal-tite in a can (a friend gave me hers). The front drivers side tire also has a slow leak, and Ive not been able to afford a can of seal-tite, and have just been refilling the tire as needed. 6)the power windows movement up and down are particularly slow and the gears seem ready to break down anytime. There may also be an undetected electrical problem here as well. 7)the brakes need serious work. They have been grinding a very long time. The brake pads, rotors and drums may all need to be replaced, as well as the brake fluid. 8)the vehicle has not had itS 100,000 miles, the 125,000 or the 130,000 miles maintenance work done. It has not had a tune up since my purchase and have only been able to procure oil changes infrequently.

Upon starting my motor home I applied the brakes and the pedal went clear to the floor with little or no resistance. The engine was running at the time. I tried several times to "pump up" the brakes with no change. The vehicle was towed to a repair station where the initial findings are a master cylinder failure. There is no evidence of an external leak, both brake fluid chambers are full. No repairs have been started as of this date 1/27/02. I called monaco/Safari/spartan (chassis) and spoke to a tech service representative who claimed that the problem could be caused by an internal failure of the master cylinder. Not believing that a failure(no external loss of fluid) could cause this condition I called bendix (now Bosch) engineering and spoke to mr ralph porter (sp). He indicated that their master cyl. Could not fail in this way unless there was a total breakdown of the internal seals in the cyl. Which was most unlikely.neither company indicated an interest in investigating this event. I have reviewed the fed. Motor vehicle safety std. 105 and have concluded that this event was in violation fo the standard.
